Rob Zombie's The Munsters adds Jeremy Wheeler to the cast as Herman's boss Mr. Gateman. Zombie's upcoming Munsters reboot is the latest in a long line of attempts to revive the original 1960s sitcom. The series' popularity earned a spinoff show, several follow-up movies including 1966's Munster, Go Home!, and more recently, Mockingbird Lane, a failed attempt to reboot The Munsters as a drama series on NBC. Now, horror icon Rob Zombie will bring back the classic sitcom in a feature-length film.
Zombie announced in 2021 that his next film would be The Munsters, which, as a life-long fan of the television series, he had been pursuing for more than twenty years. Since the film's confirmation, Zombie has been keeping fans updated with frequent social media posts. He promised that The Munsters would stay true to its original source and has shared behind-the-scenes pictures of the sets, costumes, and actors, even giving a glimpse inside 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Throughout the film's development, Zombie also announced that the cast would include Sherri Moon Zombie, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Daniel Roebuck, Richard Brake, Sylvester McCoy, and Cassandra Peterson.
